I'm typically a Nike player, but these Predators are so fire. Loving the adjustability with the Predators, too. For someone going in with a weaker ankle, would either make a difference?
I love this colorway of the GX2, and the AG soleplate looks great, but the heel looks like the heel on the Legend 8 Elite that gave me a giant blister.
The GX2 are much less likely to give you blister after first use. They wear in really quickly, so comfy. Personally i get slight heel blister on most boots after first use but did not with GX2 Btw, for anyone suffering with blisters on sole of feet and toes even with gripsocks, use Vaseline jelly. Rub a bit of Vaseline on the areas before you play and you will prevent blisters
Amazing video once again. Could you please make one comparison between Predator 24 Elite Turf and Nike Phantom GX 2 Pro Turf. And, in general, please make some video on turf shoes.. The latest iterations come with a price tag of 140€ and there is no one reviewing these boots outside of Thailand or Bangladesh..
One thing that really annoys me is you always get a cheaper looking outsole on most ag boots, why can’t we get exactly the same outsole that’s on the fg boot but with a different stud pattern🤷🏻♂️
@@tn7328 no It’s not the same. I had both shoes at home and compared them. The Studs are more rounded and shorter than on the FG model. I also played on AG with them and it feels great
@Leo.vbg_ I haven't tried it to be fair, only had the FG and it was unusable on AG, my knees are gone. I was going by Jay's review of the preds where he says the 4g is too similar to the FG, and looking at the stud pattern, I would agree. But if it works for you that's great 👍
Hello Jay, could you please make a review on the GX 2 pros since they seem to have been released on the Nike website itself, would love to see if they actually integrated gripknit into the takedown this time around :)
Just random question. Don't you feel annoyed when the black pebbles goes into your shoes while wearing the low cut on artificial grass? I have always worn the ones with collars and got hooked to it, not having to worry about the pebbles anymore.
A lot of my more expensive adidas shoes, have been ripping on the outside. As of the begining of the season I switched to Nike and I heve the cheaper phantom gx to test, would you recommand to buy these new ones. I am hesitating to buy the more expensive ones. Or should I get back to the predators?
As a loyal Nike wearer I do on time to time go for a adidas boot and sometimes they do a better boot than the Nike alternative but not as often in my opinion, the f50 was way up there with the mercs but the crazy fast was the worst boot I ever bought. I bought the latest preds and again must say very disappointed, they were very hard from the box and I wore them 3 times and still felt they weren’t broken in before the sole plate cracked. I now purchased the gx 2 elite and as much as the pred with the tongue looks the business they just can’t compete with the feel of the gx2 on ur feet, check for urself. 😊
Last 5 boots i've had, 2 were Nike and were better quality than the Adidas. All my Adidas unglued from the tip in short time and do not last a season. Adidas ones were 2022 Adipure Remake and 2021 Predator Freak .1 FG Been put off by Adidas because of it. Just got Nike Phantom GX2 which im really pleased with and before that last Nike i had were 2017 Premier I which were a great little leather boot. Last great Adidas boots I had (and are my all time favourites) were the 2007 Adipure I
@@youjustreadthis897 My Mercurials unglued at the front mid season this year. Brand new at the beginning of the season. Finding boots you like are so hard
@@youjustreadthis897 hey I want to buy the phantom, my last boots were the adidas speedportal. At the beginning they were too thin and now they broke. Did the phantoms lasted long or you don't recommend them?
As I primarily play in AG fields, my only options come down to nike’s ag soleplates. I wish adidas followed a similar ag stud pattern like nike for their ag soleplate shoes.
Take a look at the Mizuno Alpha, their AG tooling is one of the best in class for me! www.unisportstore.com/mizuno/?search_query=Mizuno+AG&boot_surface=Artificial+grass+%28AG%29&sort=price-desc
I have the Nike phantoms and agree they are a looser fit but great for someone with wide feet. Adidas I find are better and snug as I have speedportal.
you say sizing is the same for your US size but I think with UK it’s a little different with adidas and Nike i.e with Nike a size 8.5uk would be size 9.5us but with adidas a size 8.5uk would be 9us, does this mean if I’m an 8.5uk in Nike I’d need to go 9uk in adidas? Or still 8.5uk? Sounds confusing I know 🥲
Recently ive got the gx 2s and before them i had mercurials. Ive had problems adapting to gx 2 because it seemed like my foot was getting stuck to the ball when dribbling in them, so i switched back to mercs. But now im thinking about trying out preds. Is it a good idea?
The GX2 can't compete cause of that bad choice of soleplate. If GX2 had a better soleplate GX all the way for comfort, better grip, and being lighter. For me, the Predator is my choice cause of the soleplate.
I’ve been considering the elite models of both boots, but I’m usually a Nike guy so I’m a bit hesitant to switch to the preds. Any opinions on which I should go for?
I have a new preds which feel amazing on feet besides how narrow/pointed they have made the toe box compared to others preds , feels like I'm wearing them but having to change sometimes to a older pair
I ordered the laceless predators and since i got a wide food, they are uncomfortable as heck! 🥲 Way too tight around top foot area. Going to have to change them for the lace Preds.
@@big1491 adidas is still processing refund 😅 will go to a store to try them on before i order them again, the long studs might be a deal killer for me since i tore my acl 2 years ago and dont wanna risk that again 😭
the gx1 and luna1 alr have takedown models. Don't know anything about the Lunas but for the GX's I wouldn't recommend it, you don't get gripknit on the pros and instead it's a nikeskin upper without much extra grip for a cleat centered around the idea of extra grip.
hello i am 14 and from Australia i love your videos and love soccer no sorry football and the Nike Mercurial Vapor 12 Elite FG Volt Black is my favourite boot where can i get it
I almost bought the pro version of predator..test it first..it was nice for the price .at the end..i go for mizuno morelia 2 elite because i never used a k-leather football before... Myb next colorway..ill buy the predator the pro version(save some money)😂😂😂
Looking forward to trying the gx 2 now that i know it's accomadating for wide feet. First gen toebox was too low for me. Tried the preds for about 6 hours and they were fine but still didn't really feel like they molded to my feet. Really enjoyed the padding with the fold over tongue, definitely felt solid striking the ball.
Preds dont have a lot of colorways, and sure they might release more later, but I got limited amount of money, and really do not like their stud pattern too. Adidas making some dumb business choices imo
Both shoes have the same amount of colorways tho? Preds have the limited edition black/burgundy colorway, red/black colorway, and the colorway in this video. GX2 has had 3 colorways as well….
Adidas colorways are so boring tho . Nike just smacks it in terms of pure looks . And we all know that no matter what boots we wear , it won't affect our game .
Both are great, but those Preds are just so special!
Including the predator pro? 😆🤪
@@harizbadrulhisham3805😂😂. I can’t believe they messed them up so bad, big fumble by adidas 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
What’s special about em
Nah nike way better
Preds with some grip socks 🤌🏼
Hearing Nikes are wider than adidas is crazy to me
Nike and Adidas are so inconsistent: good models, bad models, crazy models; I prefer Mizuno, and the elite level gives amazing value.
Yep Mizuno Elites are another level! /Jay
Mizunos have always been inspired by Adidas models , every mizuno model has been based on a adidas shoe,
Arch is too high in the Mizuno's. Terrible for flat feet
the GX2 in that colour might go down as top 3 best looking boots for me, wow
What?

Hi Jay! How would you compare the GX 2 to the Limited edition Phantom Ultras?
Hey Jay. What is your opinion on the Preds' cracking outsole issue that many people are claiming?
I love this colorway of the GX2, and the AG soleplate looks great, but the heel looks like the heel on the Legend 8 Elite that gave me a giant blister.
Have both the gx1 and gx2 and the heels of both are really comfy and I personally haven’t gotten any blisters
I would recomend buying gripsocks. I had problems with blisters but then i bought gripsocks and i do not get them any more.
The GX2 are much less likely to give you blister after first use. They wear in really quickly, so comfy. Personally i get slight heel blister on most boots after first use but did not with GX2

Predators all day for me! It’s the nostalgia that wins!
Those Preds are so sick man
The Vid we need! Yeah!
The first time you wear preds your shooting becomes 99😂😂
After buy and use i think predator elite is better❤
I got both. GX2 AG have really good feel and grip while Preds FG have extra power and spin.
Hi from Thailand, very difficult to buy Predator Elite FT here. after watch this video maybe change to GX AG😅
been contemplating between the phantom GX 2 vs the Puma Future 7 Ultimate opnions on either
Puma future 7 are trash I’ve just refunded the shoes, don’t recommend them
puma too wide at the heel
I would probably lean towards the predators with the 2G/3G outsole after hearing that the 4G one is too long.
It‘s not too long, It’s perfect
@@Leo.vbg_ It's similar to the FG version. Definitely avoid it if you are playing on 3g. It puts way too much impact on your legs and knees.

bought the predator yesterday, needed to take 1 size bigger, the boots are really tight though, maybe i've got to wear the boots more
hey bro i have wide feet and im thinking of buying the preds tomorrow are they good after using them for 2 months ?
@@Trovi.0 Adidas in gerenal are tight so wider foot would rather go for a Nike or puma, the predators have to be worn a few times to fit your foot
so are these to boots the best on the market
Will you do a vid on the gx2 pro???
Yeah I would have preferred a little bit more lock down in the heel part by the gx2
Can u make a video about cheaper versions of these two boots?
Is the nike gripknit hard to clean? I play on natural grass and it gets muddy at times
Yes it's hard
Definitely picking up the new preds
How is the fit & feel of the Predator 2G/3G outsole version? Is it a lot wider?
More narrow
Just random question. Don't you feel annoyed when the black pebbles goes into your shoes while wearing the low cut on artificial grass? I have always worn the ones with collars and got hooked to it, not having to worry about the pebbles anymore.
Got both of them, the Predators feel wau better and an option I would consider to use in a game
i have kinda wide and short feet should i go for the preds ? ( i tried them both in the store couple of days ago )
